The Global Oneness Project (www.globalonenessproject.org) amazes me. As they say on their website they’re “traveling the globe interviewing creative and courageous people who base their lives and work on the fundamental understanding that we are all connected and thus bear great responsibility for each other and our shared world.” The GOP (yes, that’s its acronym) collects all these inspiring and educational stories, interviews and short films and offers them up–free of charge.
It’s yet another piece of this movement in which I’ve registered myself and this website: true sustainability is about US, not about ME. I alone cannot sustain much. Sharing information and ideas–freely and easily–is, in my opinion, at the very core of this change called sustainability. Knowledge withheld or basic skills we teach at a premium price is not sustainability. It is within the collective of our skills and knowledge and experience that we create a safe, secure and nurturing environment. Here’s a video from the GOP on a community development initiative in South Africa. “In the inner-city of Johannesburg, The GreenHouse Project is turning one urban park into a seedbed for sustainable communities. The program takes a holistic approach to the city’s challenges, integrating green building and design, efficient and renewable energy, recycling, organic farming and nutrition.”
